Title	Alabama 1857
Alternative Title	Alabama; Map of Alabama
Description	This image is a map of the state of Alabama in 1857 showing the geographical features and transportation development during that period of time. Transportation routes by railroads, common roads, and canals are shown and labeled. Geographical features like rivers are drawn in detail. Forts in Alabama are noted. Counties, cities, and towns inside Alabama and the neighboring states are labeled clearly. County divisions are highlighted by the use of different colors. Grid lines are used to show townships. A map key is provided at the lower right hand corner for reference. A phrase "Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1855 by J.H. Colton & Co. in the Clerks Office of the the District Court for the Southern District of New York" is printed right above the bottom neat line. The year "1857" is printed below the title. The map is an original copy of a printed map and is not encapsulated. It is originally folded into pocket size of 13 cm x 9 cm with a cover titled Map of Alabama. There are a lot of tear and wear along the fold lines. So the map is not in good condition.
